Hooded nib pen in black and brass


Completed the pen, lots of indecision about the cap and clip though! The solid brass clip came up too stiff, so used this flat clip. The full pen is 155 mm and 13 mm at the barrel max. The cap is slide fit but no snap fit. Writing test done, Kanwrite 51 is a very smooth nib, pen is quite well balanced. Cap posts very well. There are quite a lot of metal in the pen, final weight is 38.6 gms. Next couple of pens in this design would try to make slimmer , shorter and within 30 gms ...will see how those come up.

Hope you like the design. Kindly let us have your comments.
Material is black pmma acrylic rod.
